SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 648,751, dated May 1, 1900.l

Application filed March 1, 1900. Serial No. 6,932. (No model.) l

T0 all whom t may concern,.- Y Ile-it known that I, BIEMON O. JONES, a citizen ol the United States, residing` at Loopers, in the county'of Pickens and State of South Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows; and I do declare the following to -be' a full, clear, and

exact description of the invention, such as sists in certain features of construction and' combination of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated my invention in perspective. f

In the drawing the same reference characters indicate the same parts of the invention.

1 denotes the plow-beam, 2 the plow-standard, and 3 the standard-brace. lThe plowstandard preferably consists of a single piece of metal doubled upon itself to form parts a b',

which: at t-lieirupper ends are spread apart to embrace the beam and are connected together by bolts c cl. The standard intermediate its length is connected by a pivot f to the lower end of the standard-brace;

4 denotes an adj listing-lever which is pivoted to the plow-beam and is pivotally con- Anccted by a link 5 to the .upper end of the standard by the bolt d and' to the lever by a crank-shaft g, to one endof which is fixed a pawl h, adapted to engage the segmental rack 'L- by a link lc. A springl is connected to the pawl-actuating -lever and the adjusting-lever and exerts its energy to hold the pawl in engagement with the segmental rack.

Il' it be desired to adj ust the'plow, the up per ends of the two levers are grasped, thus releasing the pawl from the segmental rack, and when this is done the adj ustinglever may be swung either forward .or rearward, as

A pawl-actuatingleverj is pivoted to the adj usting-lever andis connected to the crank point.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the construction, operation, and advantages of my improved plow will be readily apparent without requiring an extended explanation.

It will be seen that the' plow is simple of construction, that said construction 'permits' of its manufacture at small cost, and that it is exceedingly well adapted for the purpose for whieh'it is designed,

Various changesiin theform, proportion,

and the minor details of construction'may be resorted to without departing from the prin' -ciple or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention. l l

Having thus described the invention, what l is claimed, and desired to be securedby Let` the case may be, to elevate'or lower the plow- 5o standard-bracesecured theretO., a standard 't consisting of apiece of "metal doublednponitself and having its upper endsseparated to embrace the sides of-the plow-beam, bolts extending throughthe said standard above and'below the plow-beam, saidstandard bein g' pivotedto the brace intermediatethe ends of said standard, an adj usting-lever pivoted to the plow-beam, a vlink pivoted at one end to the upper one of said bolts, a crank-shaft journaled to said lever to whichthe other end of said link is pivoted, Va pawl xed to the end of said lcrank-shaft, a segmental rack to be engaged by said pawl, a spring-actuated pawl-operating lever 'pivoted to'said adjustin'glever, and a link Vconnected to the crank of 'said shaft andato the lower end of said pawl-actuating'lever, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing'witnesses.
